Guillermo del Toro’s adaptation of Frankenstein released late last year caused great debate over how well it brought Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley’s beloved classic novel to life. This, in turn, inspired many to look once more at the life of the great author, her writer friends, and the travels during which the novel was born. For serious fans of these romantic poets, their work, and their tumultuous, soap opera lives, it might be a good time to plan a pilgrimage to some of the incredible spots that inspired the great pieces of writing. Book your villa in Italy and come see some of the scenery and cities that birthed Romantic literature...
